Finally got around to testing this board with the intent of at least getting it to post but sadly it's been all uphill. Everything is hooked up to the best of my ability but all I get is the mobo light on and the cpu/gpu fans running - no video, beeps....nada. Tried swapping cpu, gpu, ram out, clearing cmos, switching monitors, standing on my head and etc. No change. This board was NOS but it's a recall product due to the MTH issue (which I wasn't aware of till after the fact). Here's how I have it put together at the moment:
350W Thermaltake PS - NOS which works since fans are running.
800mhz 133fsb PIII slot 1
512MB RDRAM (2) slots 256MB ea. thought I'd have better luck with these instead of using the (2) SDRAM slots and running into the MTH issue
Abit GeForce3 Ti200 128MB
Std. PS2 keyboard/mouse
No drives hooked up - tried it but made no difference
Thought I'd go barebones to make sure it'll work before putting it in a case. I hate to give up on something I paid for but this may be a lost cause. Those of you who have experience with this scenario please tell me if I should pack it in and try another direction. Attached are some pics for a look see.
